Honestly, it's not an area where there has been consensus on when we talk with maintainers. Some folks worry about that reducing the very nature of open source collaboration.

We've had the ability to temporarily disable PR's for a while for maintainers but we felt like it was time to look at this again and see what folks think.

Collaboration on repos where the authors explicitly don't accept PRs and are going to auto close or ignore them? I don't get it - it's not like you're going to force opensource on anyone.

A lot of GitHub public repo’s aren’t FOSS though.
